NASA eyes two more dates in September for possible Moon launch
NASA is looking at September 23 and September 27 as possible dates for its next attempt at launching its Artemis 1 mission to the Moon, senior official Jim Free told reporters Thursday.
Two previous attempts were scrapped after the giant Space Launch System rocket experienced technical glitches including a fuel leak.
"The 23rd is a 6:47am window open for 80 minutes, and the 27th is an 11:37am window with a 70-minute duration," said Free, associate administrator for the agency's exploration systems development directorate.
Register now: ESA Open Day at ESTEC
Registration is now open for the 11th annual ESA Open Day at ESTEC, open to all visitors. ESA’s ESTEC technical centre in Noordwijk, the Netherlands, will be open from 10:00 to 17:00 on Sunday 2 October, giving visitors a chance to meet astronauts, space scientists and engineers and learn all about the work carried out at Europe’s largest space establishment.

Forsway introduces latest satellite terminals, Forsway Odin F-60 and Odin F-60 Pro
Forsway, a provider of innovative, cost-efficient solutions for enabling broadband connectivity in underserved regions, has announced its next generation of satellite terminals. Produced by strategic manufacturing partner, Zinwell, the new Forsway Odin F-60 and Odin F-60 Pro terminals will be available in Q1 2023 and will succeed the F-50 model. Previews of the new terminals will be available du Scientists reveal magnetic reconnection details triggering filament eruption
Eruption of a solar filament produces a coronal mass ejection, which is a major driver of space weather. Understanding how filaments erupt is thus essential for space weather forecasting.
Both observations and simulations suggest that filament eruption is closely related to magnetic flux emergence. It is thought that eruption is triggered by magnetic reconnection between a filament and an Two new rocky worlds around an ultra-cool star
An international research team, with the participation of the University of Bern and the National Centre of Competence in Research (NCCR) PlanetS, discovered two "super-Earth" exoplanets. One is located at just the right distance from its star to potentially hold liquid water on its surface.
Most of the planets that have been discovered around other stars - also known as exoplanets - are b SPECULOOS discovers a potentially habitable super-Earth
An international team of scientists, led by Laetitia Delrez, astrophysicist at the University of Liege (Belgium), has just announced the discovery of two 'super-Earth' type planets orbiting LP 890-9. Also known as TOI-4306 or SPECULOOS-2, this small, cool star located about 100 light-years from our Earth is the second coolest star around which planets have been detected, after the famous TRAPPIS NASA taps Axiom Space for first Artemis lunar spacesuits
NASA has selected Axiom Space to deliver a moonwalking system for the Artemis III mission, which will land Americans on the surface of the Moon for the first time in over 50 years. This award - the first one under a competitive spacesuits contract - is for a task order to develop a next generation Artemis spacesuit and supporting systems, and to demonstrate their use on the lunar surface during Glaciers flowed on ancient Mars, but slowly
The weight and grinding movement of glaciers has carved distinctive valleys and fjords into Earth's surface. Because Mars lacks similar landscapes, researchers believed ancient ice masses on the Red Planet must have been frozen firmly to the ground. New research suggests they were not stuck in place, but just moved very slowly.
Motion is part of the definition of a glacier. On Earth, meltw
